Intro – riff 1 (8X)

(riff 2)

Verse 1: (riff 2)

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

Bridge: (riff 2)

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

Chorus: (riff 3)

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit 
Tonight

Verse 2: (riff 2)

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

Bridge – Repeat (riff 2)

Chorus – Repeat (riff 3)

Verse 3: (riff 3)

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

Chorus – Repeat (riff 3)

Riff 1 alone – fade out.
